My Services
My experience as a communicator has spanned many industries but I’ve spent the last decade working in agriculture communications. While I specialize in agriculture, I’m more than happy to take on communications work in other industries. I have experience in health care, finance, charity work, and forestry.
01
Strategic Communications Planning
Whether your organization needs a full communications plan or a project-specific one, I can create it for you based on your business goals.
02
Public Trust
Transparency is the key to earning and maintaining public trust in agriculture. I can assist your organization in building public trust through solid key messaging for social media campaigns and other marketing efforts — including spokesperson training for staff and farmers.
03
Special Event Management
Whether you’re planning an important board meeting or a large conference, I use a detailed planning process to ensure your event runs smoothly and on budget.
04
Writing and Editorial
I have been writing professionally for 30 years — from journal and magazine articles to websites, social media posts, annual reports, and public accountability reports. Whatever your writing needs are, I can make it easy for you.
05
Media Relations
As the former Chief Information Officer for the BC Poultry Association, I have extensive experience giving media interviews and training others. I work with clients to set their media policy and identify the best spokesperson for each issue.
06
Crisis Management
I have handled crises ranging from health care emergencies to poultry disease outbreaks. The best time to tackle a crisis is before it happens — I work with clients to create crisis plans and respond if one occurs.
07
Stakeholder Communications
All organizations have stakeholders they need to communicate with regularly. Whether your audience is internal (staff, members, farmers) or external (the public, government officials), we can plan the right messaging for each one.
How We Work Together
While I prefer working with clients on a project-basis, I am also happy to work with clients on a retainer or simply hourly.
01
Project
Defined scope, clear deliverables, and a flat fee. Ideal for one-time communications needs.
02
Retainer
Ongoing support on a monthly basis. Great for organizations with regular communications needs.
03
Hourly
Flexible and straightforward. Pay only for the time you need.
